Eh, that's an integration play (an astoundingly overpriced one at that.)
Does RIM have a single other thing besides handsets and BBM? Surely their OS isn't sufficiently interesting (or do I recall somewhere in the cobwebs of my mind the BB 10 is Android derivative?)

Actually now that you mention it, I think they do currently own QNX, which is definitely popular in some circles (automotive in particular). That might be worth a bit, but certainly their devices are the main draw.

Smart employers know the score: Take-home pay still matters, but so do company culture, praise and challenging work. 'Coffee'. 'When do we want it?' 'I will cut you!'

Received an e-card picture from a co-worker last night. The text is:
There is no life without water. Because without water, there is no coffee.
And without coffee, I'll kill you.
I understand the sentiment... and so does my work place. 8)

The head of Microsoft's unified operating system group, Terry Myerson, shares more details on Microsoft's one Windows vision in a Q&A with ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley. No more cascading or tiling for you

Oh no, not Mary Jo Foley again.

Come on, she's not that bad is she?
Here, read this interview[^] instead.

She's not that bad but the interview is lame; Myerson doesn't really answer a question or tell us anything relevant that isn't already known or being rumored.
"Microsoft OS chief sees a 'One Windows' future (Q&A)"... I hope he doesn't do that with just one eye and is blind on the other one.

Eight months ago we asked you to provide feedback on the features you want us to ship. And you didn’t disappoint! Since then, we’ve seen hundreds of Tweets, blog posts and user voice votes. It’s great to be part of such a thriving community. That feedback does work

The short answer to this tremendously popular question is, no, ReSharper will not use Roslyn...We’ll be sure to peek into Roslyn code and tests from time to time, to see how C# and VB.NET language features are implemented. We don’t rule out that actual code supporting them is going to emerge before formal specifications are finalized.

Once developers understand lambdas, functions, immutable state and asynchronicity, they’ll understand functional programming.

Microsoft pulled the plug on Windows XP support on Tuesday and the IE team has put together a fun little game called ‘Escape from Windows XP’ which is a small browser based shooter that, as you would expect, you try to escape Windows XP.
"Die XP, die!" Not exactly subtle, Microsoft, but effective.
|
|
|
|
|
Hopefully they add more to the game. I'd like to kill a lot more of Mirosoft's products than just XP and IE
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I played the game briefly and it crashed my browser...
...need I say more?
|
|
|
|
|
lol, it crashed Firefox for me twice (both times were right after it listed my achievements at the end). I'm wondering if this is a bug or an "easter egg"

Haha, I actually like that angry Clippy in the back.

An anarchist group has offered internet giant Google a deal, give us $3bn and we will leave you alone. I'm sure they could get someone to get rid of them for less than $3billion
|

I can beat that price. I will leave them alone for $2 Billion.

They will be able to buy a lot of herbal tea with that.
(Because proper tea is theft).

Of course if they were REALLY anarchists...
But nobody really is, of course.
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly. If they were real anarchists, they wouldn't ask for any money at all.
